Beach, pools and spa
The hotel sits right on Seminyak Beach, a long stretch of sand known for big sunsets. Like most of Bali’s west coast, the surf can be strong, so swimmers should follow the lifeguard flags.
There is one large outdoor pool overlooking the ocean, plus private pools in the villas. AWAY Spa is open 24 hours and has seven treatment rooms and an oxygen chamber.
The pool area is the social hub by day, while WOOBAR takes over at sunset with music and cocktails. Guests who want more privacy can book a villa with its own pool.
Activities and entertainment
Yoga sessions are held at WOOSKY, the rooftop above WOOBAR, and WOOBAR hosts DJ sets, a silent disco and an annual summer party. There is no dedicated kids club, but babysitting is available for a fee.
Seminyak and Petitenget are full of restaurants, beach clubs and shops within a short walk or ride, and Canggu’s cafes and surf beaches are a short drive north.
Beyond the resort, Bali packs a lot into a small island: sea temples such as Uluwatu and Tanah Lot, the rice terraces and craft villages around Ubud, surf breaks on the Bukit Peninsula and the beach clubs of Seminyak and Canggu. Traffic in the south can be slow, so it pays to plan day trips by area.
Who it’s best for
- Best for: couples, friends and groups who want a stylish beachfront hotel close to Seminyak’s nightlife, dining and shopping.
- Consider another resort if: you want a quiet retreat, calm water for small children or an all-inclusive price.
